    Hi Experts,

    I can see many failed login attempt in my SQL Server. Seems like someone is trying different username and passwords.

    How can i track these and pinpoint from where exactly the hit is coming??

    Extended events would be a good place to start.

    In fact today's QotD is in relation to XE and login tracking

    If the SQL error log gives you the IP addresses you can find out the hostname the connection attempts are coming from by using ping -a ipaddressgoeshere
